We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
MickB doesn't post here often, and it is almost invariably just simple factual things or reasonable opinion. Doing that here, too often brings out the people who try to shout down things they don't like hearing.
It's why I filter some completely. Fortunately that silly noise is reducing, thanks to LSE admin. The chat rules are available for any who are confused, and deletions are invariably way off topic nd too often simply abusive.
MickB, Snige, MrsNewchirch and the other reasonable posters, some with quite contrasting views, don't let thee disruptive kind put you off posting. They are the ones trying to curb people's right to post reasonably. They will not succeed. ,
Red/blue ie sells/buys on trade logs mean nothing. When the trades are displayed the web page checks if trade price is closer to the bid or ask price .. buy or sell price.. and marks it dumbly then..in othrr words its guesses and it just means the trade price was nearest current bid or nearest current ask. It means next to nowt therefore as the bid ask range moves randomly as orders are added to and disappear from the order book. Number of sold shares always equals number of buys in the real world. Everyone knows that, the trade lists are a bit confusing though.

The subject of research on deferred rewards. A lot of research and thought been done. Not so much with £35K a pop.. slightly price experiment that would be. There's a famous one with marshmallows though, nearly the same.
Not around much personally - bit busy.. but here ya go,

When brexit turns to dust or glory and settles down Lloyds will be well placed to benefit from the stability.

Wait.. what ? My pay cheques been stopped? How will I surive without that 60p a month? Don't they realise the important work I was doing ? What about my confirming oxbridge acceptance criteria and the battle over photosynthesis? Who will carry on the struggle? No, calisto, compadre, no pay is necessary, the fight against fake facts is enough to keep me going in my woodland foxhole. That and a good wireless connection.
On another note, as Trump imposes increasing sanctions on Mexico, the day trade talks are due to begin.. much the same as he did with Canada after he reneged on Nafta, I wonder how beneficial will our dealings with our new BF will prove. On the bright side he doesn't need nuclear bombs when he can slap 5% on asparagus and solar panels so maybe he will decommision.
I have a feeling things are at a bit of a low just now - we can't get a lot more chaotic here surely, which could be good for Lloyds. Of course there is no real basis for saying that - just a feeling - its weathered some crackers times though.
Solg has promising geology and possibilities from what I saw - as you say though its not for the faint hearted.
Nerves of steel ? Maybe you are like the "the magician’s girl who does not flinch" as Sylvia Plath said it.
I have no interest in defending German unemployment figures .. but data might as well be accurate if its quoted.
Their latest unemployment rate is 5%..... less than around 8% for 2008/09. The first time its risen since 2013 or something.
Up 0.1% on last month. May well mark some slow down. Hardly an explosion in the figures though.

If idiots like you and boomerbower choose to write rubbish on a bulletin board addressed to or about me because you can't think of anything of value to say it's possible I will reply. In this case to point out once again I am a man close to retirement age. As usual, like boomerbower you start off on a high horse as you did this morning. By the time you finish you are posting like a silly schoolgirl as you are doing now. Grow up and post like an adult.
